The VMS debugger is actually maintained by the group that maintains
the operating system (as contrasted with days of yore, when it was
maintained by the compiler folks). As a result it is starting to get
incorporated more and more into tools like crash dump analysis and
process dump analysis (if you want an example of something that has
_never_ been good on VMS it is process dump analysis, but they know
it and have gotten what is probably sufficient pressure to fix it).
So for those who might receive a dump file in the mail from a VMS
customer, the analysis tool is now and will continue to be tightly
coupled to the VMS debugger. Some people may use Ada on VMS just
to test drive code that will really be used in an embedded situation,
but there are others who use it for production jobs that run on VMS.
